Vegetables – Greek salad inspired veggies like tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and spinach hold up well against the hearty farro. Kale and arugula are great additions, too! Farro Salad Dressing – Double up this recipe to use as a marinade for veggies or chicken, if desired. Short on time? Use a store-bought bottle of French vinaigrette. Toppings – Top this farro salad recipe with a sprinkle of feta and fresh herbs like parsley. Variations – Add chopped olives, small cubes of roasted butternut squash, or asparagus.
